How to read the backcolor of a screen wincc unified

Hi Jherson,

Using the object path works for screen items (including screen windows), but not for screens.

However, to access the screen background color, you must first address the screen. This can be done by using the Parent property, which in most cases is the screen.

For example, if you want to get the background color for a screen when clicking a button contained in that screen, the script might look like this:

Note: The editor may show a syntax error (it does in my test with V19), but it will compile without errors.

Kind regards

Hi Jherson,

If you try to read the background color of a screen window, you will always fail. This is because screen windows do not have such a parameter.

Hi Jherson,

Since you cannot access screens by object path, you must access the screen window that contains the screen. For these screen windows, you can use the "CurrentScreen" property to access the screen. For example, if the screen window named swContent1 is on your Start screen, you can use the following code to get the screen background.

UI.FindItem('//swContent1').CurrentScreen.BackColor;

Kind regards
